These eight selected works are handmade, drawn on paper, and fully animated in Battaglia's pulsing "push and pull" style -- colorful, explosive, alternating between extravagant and delicate, and always rhythmic. From the Futurist inpspired "Boccioni's Bike" to the cartoonish "Second Nature" and the computer-assisted "More True Shit," these films provide invitations to new ways of seeing and working in the graphic arts in motion. Battaglia provides commentary version of all films, including insights to the production and aestheics of these animations. These exciting and different films give Skip Battaglia great pleasure, as they will any animation enthusiast. This disc will surely be an important part of any animation lover's library. $24.95 Buy your copy through the Animatus Store Visit Skip's website WARNING!
